    Thanks for the help. I actually disabled the chirp and at least the top does not open when you disarm the car. All items seem to work, except the comfort one-touch does not work to open the top. I need to hold the button the whole time. It is funny that the one-touch does work to close however. I guess I will have to live with it.

    I just installed Smart Top and Remote Top in my 99 996 Cab. Both units seems to work well, except for one thing. When I want to just unlock the car when the alarm is on, the remotetop is opening the top. I just press the remote for less than a second. The top opened in 2 out of 3 times. I think if I needed to use the remote to open the top, that I would need to hold the remote for a second or two. That does work also. The only thing that I think that could cause this, is that I needed to change the battery in the car last week. I am not sure if that had something to do with this. I only installed the smarttop and remotetop for about 2 weeks now, so I do not have a lot of experience in using it. Also, my front windows roll up after the top opens, is this normal too?

    Hey Guys, If using the HIFI amp, are the 6 outputs @ 2 ohms, or is it just the doors ones? Has anyone tried 4 ohm speakers in the door with success using the HIFI amp?

    I could not resist posting. Forgive for bringing back an older thread. Just picked up a 48 Kirkland battery from CostCo in NJ. It was an amazing $49.99!! It is maintenance free and comes with a 3 year warranty. It is like getting a free membership to CostCo. I think we can all use a new Tool Pants picture.

    Do you know if the battery terminal wires (from the car) were cleaned too? Even if the battery is new, if there is corrosion on the wire connectors, it make a bad connection. Charging system are relatively simple, so if it is not the battery, the connectors, then it is mostly likely the alternator. How is the tension on the belt? Sometimes a loose belt can cause this, but I think it is an auto tensioner.

    Are the battery terminals clean. Sometimes it can be as simple as that. I not sure if the 996 has a voltage regulator. Sometimes that can cause issues like this too.

    Did you do a Carfax? The reason I ask is that there are a good amount of flood damaged cars that will have recurring electrical problems. It seems that all of the problems you have are electrical. Some of these cars are cleaned up (dried out) and then re-sold. Just a thought.

    Thanks guys. I joined a group buy. It is a really good deal. 10% off if we get 10 units, and 20% off if we get 20 units.

    Does anyone know if there are any discounts for SmartTop and RemoteTop? Or maybe the cheapest place to buy them. Thanks!

    I have a 08 Cayenne S and I believe that the heated steering wheel was not an option. I think it may come standard in the S. I know I have it as it comes on when the temperature outside is below a certain temp, maybe 40 or so. So it could be that the wiring is in there.

    I bought a 2008 Cayenne S in August, and I have driven about 2600 miles now. At about 2000 miles the low oil warning light came on, and I needed to add in 2 quarts of oil. Now after about 600 more miles, I topped it off this morning with about a quarter quart. Is this normal? So I guess it is using about 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles.

    I saw a place in Newark NJ that does tops with GLASS for under $1000. I do not have the magazine, either the PCA monthly mag or the Christoferous mag. But I know it is in Newark, because I a located in NY and it caught my interest. EDIT I found the place. It is called CabrioWorld. They advertised in the Dec 2007 Panorama. They are located in Newark NJ, and the number is 800-752-1563. In the ad they have tops for a Boxster for 775 with the glass. Good Luck!
